FRENCH resources

Youtube member comptines has French children's songs complete with on-screen lyrics, and often lyrics written below each clip for you to cut and paste elsewhere to help you learn to sing the song. comptinesmaternelle has similar, but no on-screen lyrics.

http://www.imagiers.net/ has over 26,000 clips for learning everything from colours, numbers and the alphabet to more difficult French. The site appears free, with interviews with francophones, discussions about french culture, flashcards, worksheets, podcasts, audio files and of course, a Youtube channel. I was subscribed to this but had to unsubscribe due to the sheer volume of clips posted daily...I was missing other members clips I was subscribed to. Here are some basic examples of imagiers content:










The following clip is from a series of interesting podcasts "French for Kids by Kids" (on YouTube only) which appear to be by US kids (non-native French speakers) and their probably native-French-speaking teacher. They range from 3.5 to 9 minutes long.
